Sen. Whitehouse: ‘We Have Entered the Era of Climate Consequences, the Stuff the Scientists Warned Us Would Happen’

EXCERPT:

WHITEHOUSE: "As I said last week, we have entered the era of climate consequences. The stuff, the scientists warned us would happen is happening. Snicker all you want about green new deals, ignore all you want collapsing coastlines, glaciers, coral reefs, and fisheries, Pope Francis said, 'Slap Mother Nature and she will slap you back.' The economic slapback is here now, in skyrocketing home insurance prices and failing home insurance markets. I will say it again, when climate havoc hits property insurance markets, it then hits mortgage markets, which then tanks property values so hard it can take down the whole economy.”
